Hunter Army Airfield, along with Fort Stewart, is a military complex located near Savannah, Georgia, United States. It is the home of the 3rd Infantry Division of the United States Army. Hunter's 11,375 ft long runway supports the installation's rapid deployment needs as any aircraft, including the C-5 Galaxy, can land at Hunter. It also has a unique distinction as being identified as an alternate landing site for NASA's space shuttles.

Additionally, with more than 1.4 km2 (350 acres) of hardstand, 50 C-17 Globemaster aircraft can be on the ground simultaneously. With a Departure/Arrival Airfield Control Group (DAACG) Facility, soldiers and cargo can be deployed efficiently and responsively from a premier deployment facility. Fort Stewart and Hunter Army Airfield has consistently proven its rapid deployment capabilities in recent operations including the 1991 Gulf War and subsequent deployments to Egypt, Kuwait, Bosnia, and Kosovo; and, most recently to operations in Afghanistan and Iraq.
